Hideo Kojima Teams Up With CASETiFY for a New Death Stranding Collection

Hideo Kojima fans will soon have another way to show their love for the Death Stranding series. Kojima Productions has announced a new collaboration with CASETiFY, bringing the studio’s artwork and familiar game-inspired designs to phone cases and everyday accessories.

The collection celebrates the 10th anniversary of Kojima Productions and CASETiFY’s 15th anniversary. It includes designs created with Kojima and art director Yoji Shinkawa, along with accessories inspired by characters and objects from the Death Stranding games.

The collection goes on sale worldwide on October 15, 2026. Here’s a closer look at what fans can expect.

When Does the Kojima Productions x CASETiFY Collection Launch?

The new KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS x CASETiFY collection launches on October 15, 2026, through CASETiFY’s official online store. Selected CASETiFY retail stores will also stock the collection.

Fans can join the waitlist on the official CASETiFY collection page to get priority access before the general launch.

The collaboration is more than a set of phone cases with game artwork printed on them. The designs use different materials, raised details, and physical accessories to bring parts of Kojima Productions’ visual style into everyday products.

All the Products in the Death Stranding CASETiFY Collaboration

The collection includes several types of phone cases and accessories. Here are the main highlights.

1. Yoji Shinkawa's 3D Crafted Aluminum Case

One of the standout items is the Yoji Shinkawa Original Design – 3D Crafted Aluminum Case. It features a design by Yoji Shinkawa, the artist known for his work on Kojima Productions games, including Death Stranding and Metal Gear.

Rather than relying only on a printed image, this case uses a crafted aluminum design to give it a more physical, detailed look. It is likely to attract collectors who want something different from a standard gaming-themed phone cover.

The aluminum case also comes with two exclusive collectible card designs that aren't part of the regular card lineup.

2. From Sapiens to Ludens Case

Another option is the Yoji Shinkawa Art Edition – From Sapiens to Ludens Case, which features artwork connected to Kojima Productions’ creative vision.

Ludens is the studio’s familiar mascot, representing its idea of people as players and explorers. This design should appeal to fans who prefer the studio’s artwork and identity over a case focused on a single game character.

3. Ludens Emblem Carbon Fiber Case

The collection also includes a Ludens Emblem Carbon Fiber Case. It uses the studio’s emblem as its main visual feature and offers a different look from the illustrated designs.

Fans who prefer a cleaner style may find this one more appealing. However, the final choice will depend on the available phone models and case options.

4. Q-Pid Wristlet

The Q-Pid is one of the most recognisable objects in Death Stranding. Sam Bridges wears the device around his neck, and it plays an important role in the game's world.

CASETiFY is turning that familiar design into a wristlet accessory. Fans can attach it to a compatible phone case or wear it as an accessory.

It is one of the most direct references to the game in the collection and could be a favourite among players who want something beyond a regular phone cover.

5. Dollman and Ludens Accessories

The collaboration also includes several smaller collectibles inspired by Kojima Productions' games and studio identity.

These include:

  • Dollman plush keychain: Inspired by the living marionette companion from Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
  • Ludens Duck: A playful take on the studio's mascot.
  • Ludens Gold Disc: A collectible accessory featuring the Ludens theme.
  • Kojima Productions emblem grip stand: A metal accessory that brings the studio logo into a practical everyday item.

These accessories offer alternatives for fans who don't need a new phone case but still want something from the collaboration.

Collectible Cards Are Included With Purchases

Another part of the collection is a set of Kojima Productions collectible cards designed around official studio artwork.

The cards come in a blind-pack format, meaning buyers receive a random design rather than choosing a specific card. The official announcement also confirms that the 3D Crafted Aluminum Case includes two exclusive card designs.

According to Beebom's report, the collectible cards are limited to 12,000 worldwide. They aren't sold separately, so fans interested in collecting them will need to purchase an item from the collaboration.

Because the cards are randomly packed, buying a product doesn't guarantee a particular design.

How Much Will the CASETiFY x Kojima Collection Cost?

The official Japanese announcement lists the following starting prices:

Product categoryStarting price in Japan
Phone cases¥6,380
Tech accessories¥5,610
Suitcases¥79,530

These are Japanese prices, including tax, and shouldn't be treated as confirmed prices for every country. The cost of individual products may vary, and not every item will necessarily be available for every phone model.

For the latest availability and regional pricing, visit the official CASETiFY x Kojima Productions collection page.

Which Phones Will Be Supported?

The official announcement lists products for selected Apple, Samsung, and Google devices. However, compatibility depends on the particular design and product type.

Before buying a case, select your phone model on CASETiFY's product page. If your device doesn't appear in the available options, that particular case isn't currently offered for it.

Fans should check this carefully before ordering, especially if they use a less common phone model.

Why This Collaboration Matters to Death Stranding Fans

Kojima Productions is known for its distinctive visual style, and Yoji Shinkawa's artwork is a major part of that identity. The new collection gives fans a way to carry some of those designs outside the games.

The Q-Pid wristlet is an obvious highlight for Death Stranding players, while the Dollman keychain gives Death Stranding 2 fans something to look forward to. The Ludens products, meanwhile, represent the studio as a whole rather than one specific game.

The range also includes more understated designs, such as the carbon fiber case, for people who want gaming-inspired accessories without large character illustrations.

Of course, the actual value will depend on the price, build quality, and whether the products fit the buyer's devices. Fans interested in the collectible cards may also want to check the purchase terms before ordering.
